Hi,
I have phoned a few places for replacement discs/pads for the front and rear - and I just get the usual "for a what?" response.
The "bible" says the S4 the front discs are different to the S1-S3 set up - but TVR car parts website says "Fits all S Series cars including V8S."

I have tried a search on here, the alternative parts website etc and just wanted to ask if anyone has the correct info so I can order them up.
Thanks.

Front discs are the same on all models - 240mm vented front discs the same as most ford sierras. Late Sierras with ABS had 260mm discs, very early sierras had non vented discs on small engine models.
I really need to get out more.

Don't pay a fortune - they are bog standard parts.

Thanks, I am just looking for standard parts.
Do you know the rear set up? Nobody had that listed, even when I said its the same as the V8S.

Sierra with ABS is the same as the rear I think.

I had tried that website but the only S listed is S1 or S2 and they have no option for rear discs.
I will try it for the Sierra though.

Edited to say that I have called them and they cannot help without the disc dimensions. I had hoped to replace them this weekend but I will remove and measure them instead.

Just for info I measured the rears and they are 252mm as described on the TVR car parts website.
Mintex (standard not grooved) front and rear discs and pads now ordered. Roll on the weekend.
